Birdlocked Classic vs. CB6000 – Personal Experience The Birdlocked – Initial Unboxing and first impressions – The birdlocked at first sight isn’t all too special. It ships in a rather plain looking white box, labeled by the makers, and sits inside with the device itself, the locking strap and locking pin, and a padlock with two keys. The birdlocked doesn’t really seem that formidable at first. It bends easily, isn’t that thick, and just doesn’t look like a very secure device to hold such precious property. The padlock is stainless steel and the two keys are sufficient, although having only one locking pin shipped can be a bother, as will be covered later in the review. The Birdlocked – First Attempt at putting it on – Putting on the birdlocked actually isn’t too difficult. It involves a lot of awkward pushing of the testicles through the ring, but once that is accomplished, putting the device on properly is simply a matter of sliding the penis through the strap as well, into the sheath, then locking the locking strap and pin on properly. Simple enough. Overall, the birdlocked was fairly simple to put on, and with sufficient lube and with a bit of practice, the device can be put on quickly with very little effort. Comfort/Practicality – The Birdlocked – This is where this device really shines. Because the device has no interlocking parts, there is literally zero risk of sensitive skin being pinched, which can be quite painful. The device is extremely comfortable to wear during active movement. This boy has walked miles with it on, rode his bike, even went rock climbing with a climbing harness on, and this boy forgot that the device was there 95% of the time. If comfort is a major selling point, then you should seriously consider the birdlocked. Also, the “bulge” of the device is very minimal, making it excellent to wear to work or in public. Security/Durability – This is where the birdlocked faces some tough questions. Because the silicone is bendable, one could suggest that by squeezing the material above the cock head in and out, stimulation is possible. This boy has personally tried this, and while yes its definitely noticeable, he can personally say that this will not lead the wearer to orgasm. Although, if the keyholder wishes for the wearer to receive absolutely no stimulation, then the birdlocked is a questionable choice. It should also be mentioned that the birdlocked is built in such a way that the locking strap can easily be cut with a sharp blade at any time, allowing the device to be removed with the padlock still locked. Since cutting the strap renders it useless, requiring replacement, this method is intended as an emergency way out, but users desiring complete security may find the possibility of escape too alluring for the wearer. Long term, the device itself is quite durable, seeming to be tear free and very strong. The single plastic locking pin that is required for the device to function is a different story. This boy’s broke after about three months of consistent wear, and a replacement costs at least ten dollars. Steel locking pins can be bought for a fairly high price, but regardless, the plastic pins are not durable at all and will break at some point, requiring replacement. Overall – The birdlocked is a comfortable, if not 100% secure device that should be given a serious look for any couples considering chastity. It shines for the active user, and for those who find that absolute prevention of stimulation is not necessary, and that the comfort of the wearer is to be considered. But for those looking for a more serious device, the birdlocked does have its shortcomings. Overall, this boy would give it four out of five. CB6000 – Initial Unboxing and first impressions – The CB6000 comes in a slick looking black leather case, with all of the parts individually grouped in sealed plastic bags inside. Overall, the presentation is one of sophistication and is a very positive one. At first sight, the CB6000 is a jumbled mess of parts and fairly confusing rings and plastic things. The large number of individual pieces was actually slightly intimidating to this boy at first, despite his fairly in depth research on the device. The padlock is stainless steel as well, and comes with three keys. Overall, the presentation is a good, if not a little jarring CB6000 – First Attempt at putting it on – Putting on the CB6000 for the first time is a formidable task, to say the least. The multitude of individual parts that have to come together into an exact order, for a precise fit, means that finding the proper setup of the device takes time and a significant amount of practice. This boy had researched the setup of the device, and knew it fairly well, but actually putting o the device was an entirely different story. In the device’s defense, the website has an effective animation explaining how to put on the device, and this boy recommends looking into that if one is a first time user. This boy was able to figure out how to put everything together after a bit, and luckily got a tight fit on the first setup of the device. Others may not be so lucky, as there is a large number of combinations of locking pin lengths and ring sizes. On the flipside, this allows for a precise, nearly custom fit where the keyholder can be assured that the device is secure. This boy personally experienced what he thought was an actual cracking of the plastic cage portion, during his first time putting it on. Although on further inspection, that was not the case. This boy did struggle with pinching as well, as bunched up skin was getting caught at the top of the device and was being pinched quite painfully, so much to the point where the device would not go on properly. After quite the struggle and a bit of frustration, this boy got the device on successfully. CB6000 – Comfort/Practicality – The CB6000 was surprisingly comfortable for this boy. It was on par with the birdlocked for comfort level, as this boy often forgets that he is even wearing the device. The only major comfort gripe is during putting on the device, where pinching can be very painful, although once properly seated, this is no longer an issue. Comfort wise, this boy did many of the things he did with the birdlocked, including walking long distances, bike riding, etc. The device proved to be very comfortable. One thing this boy immediately noticed was that the padlock bounces up and down on top of the device while this boy walks, making a distinct metal on plastic “clinking” sound. This boy still hasn’t figured out how to fix this, if even possible. The sound is quite noticeable, and if the wearer works an active job around others, then he should take the sound issue into account. Also, the bulge on this device is larger than the birdlocked, as the locking structure on top of the device sticks out farther forward, causing more of the dreaded bulge. This issue is minor, but this boy thought it was worth mentioning. Besides the sound issue, the CB6000 is a very practical device that is comfortable in many situations. CB6000 – Security/Durability – If this boy had to pick one area where the CB6000 shines, he would pick security. Because the device allows for a more precise fit because of the variety of part sizes included, with some trial and error the wearer can be placed into a very secure device that cannot be pulled out of. The solid plastic setup of the device means any stimulation is impossible as well, meaning that the only way the wearer will feel pleasure is when the device is completely removed with the keyholder’s consent. The CB6000 also doesn’t have an emergency release function, which is obviously good and bad. Security is ensured, if not a little too much for some users. Durability wise, the CB6000 seems well built, although this boy has read stories of the plastic cage splitting eventually. This boy checked the official website, and a cage replacement for the standard replacement is 70 U.S. dollars, nearly half the overall purchase price. This means splitting the device is a very costly mistake. This boy would say that overall the birdlocked is more durable, as the locking pins can be cheaply replaced, and the device itself seems more durable with a silicone build. But security wise, the C6000 is the way to go as it allows for a tight fit, and ensures it stays that way. Overall – The CB6000 is a comfortable, very secure device, that is for couples who are quite serious about the chastity of the wearer. Putting on the device is more of a commitment than the birdlocked, although at a certain price considering overall the birdlocked is more comfortable and easier to use. This boy would say that the CB6000 is the more advanced, effective of the two, and that the birdlocked, while not 100% effective, is a fantastic starting place for anybody looking to experiment with male chastity. This boy will not say that one is better than the other, as both have their advantages and disadvantages. This boy hopes that his experiences with both devices can aid future people looking into the exciting and uniquely fulfilling world of chastity. Sincerely, -Penny’s Property
